History
Al-Seyassah was launched on 3 June 1965 as a weekly magazine by Ahmed Al-Jarallah and owned by Abdulaziz F. Al-Masaeed.[2][3][4] In 1968, Al-Jarallah bought Al-Seyassah from Al-Masaeed with a bank loan and, with assistance from a friend, who was a Kuwaiti minister of information, obtained the license to turn the weekly magazine into a daily newspaper format.[5]<[6]
Naji al-Ali worked for the paper from 1968 to 1974.[7] In 1977, Jarallah expanded Al-Seyassah into a media group, which also publishes the English-language Arab Times newspaper and the weekly magazine Al-Hadaf (Arabic: الهدف, lit. 'The Target') in partnership with Syrian businessman Mazen Al-Tarazi.[8]
In 1977, the assets of Al-Seyassah were estimated at more than five million Kuwaiti dinars ($17.25m) in 1977 values, including a printing plant which was at the time the most modern in the region.[9]
In 2003, the newspaper held the 4th circulation ranking in Kuwait, with an adult readership of 302,700, a daily circulation of 75,679 copies, and a market share of 16.82%.[1]
